Description
Experience the magic of Lapland on a full-day adventure in Rovaniemi. Enjoy long sleigh rides with reindeer and huskies, traditional Lappish hospitality, and a delicious buffet lunch.
Begin your day with a visit to a local reindeer farm. Meet the herders and learn about their culture and the importance of reindeer in Arctic life. Then, enjoy a long 45-minute sleigh ride through the snowy forest — a peaceful and authentic experience far from the typical 5-minute rides offered elsewhere. After the ride, warm up with hot drinks and cookies while listening to stories about reindeer care and breeding.
Next, head to a cozy restaurant in Rovaniemi for a buffet lunch featuring local dishes and international options.
In the afternoon, visit a professional husky kennel, where you'll learn about the training, lifestyle, and personalities of these energetic Arctic dogs. After a safety briefing, take the reins of your own sled on a self-driven 45-minute husky safari (approximately 10–12 km) through scenic snowy trails. This is a truly immersive experience, not one of those short tourist rides.
At the end of the adventure, enjoy hot juice and cookies while spending time with the huskies before returning to your accommodation.
